Father not an alcoholic, but has traits of one
Manipulative, controlling, immature, narcissistic.
My mom stayed married to him for years and allowed herself to be verbally and emotionally abused. Then he had an affair for 3-4 years and it may still be going on. She kicked him out, took him back several times and is now finally divorcing him for real.
She called me earlier today in a very pumped-up mood. Explaining stuff to me that I feel like I've already known for a very long time. Trying to "correct" me about certain things. I found it slightly insulting. But I didn't let that show.
